TOP UNION vs PrimeTime vs PPPFish
Choosing the right poker union is one of the most consequential decisions for a club owner. We compare three of the most searched unions in 2026 - across traffic, commissions, platforms and support - with verified data.
What Is a Poker Union?
A poker union is a network of independent clubs sharing one player pool on a mobile poker platform. Each club keeps its own owner, members and rake settings, while players see tables from every club in the network.
Poker unions are B2B networks that connect independent poker clubs running on platforms like PPPoker, X Poker, and ClubGG into a shared player pool. Instead of each club competing alone with 50-200 players, union clubs share liquidity - meaning active tables 24/7 across all stake levels.
The three unions below are frequently asked about in poker forums and communities in 2026:
- TOP UNION - PPPoker (Club ID 3404), X Poker (Union ID 7301), ClubGG (Union ID 4453)
- PrimeTime Poker - primarily PPPoker-focused union
- PPPFish - PPPoker ecosystem, known in Asian markets

Which Poker Union Has the Lowest Commission?
Of the three compared here, TOP UNION at 7 percent on X Poker and PPPoker. The wider market runs 15 to 20 percent, so the gap compounds quickly on any meaningful rake volume.
Commission is the percentage of rake a union takes. This single number compounds into significant money over a year of operation.
TOP UNION: 7%
On a club generating $10,000/month in rake, TOP UNION takes $500. Under a 15% structure that same club nets $8,500 instead of $9,500 - a $12,000/year difference.
At $50,000/month rake, the difference between 7% and 15% commission is $4,000 per month - $48,000 per year. Commission rate matters more than almost anything else when choosing a union.
PrimeTime: 10-12%
In line with the average for PPPoker unions, but well above TOP UNION's rate. For clubs with significant rake volume, this gap is meaningful.
PPPFish: 10-15%
The wider range suggests less standardization - variable rates make financial planning harder for club owners.
Player Traffic & Table Activity
A union's advertised player count only matters if those players are active and distributed across stake levels that match your club's needs.
TOP UNION: 170,000+ Active Players
The multi-platform approach means traffic flows even when one platform experiences slower periods. Tables run 24/7 - not just during peak hours in one timezone.
PrimeTime & PPPFish: Concentrated on PPPoker
Single-platform dependency creates timezone concentration. Off-peak hours see significantly fewer active tables, especially at micro and low stakes.
Which Union Covers the Most Platforms?
TOP UNION runs on three: X Poker (Union ID 7301), PPPoker (Club ID 3404) and ClubGG (Union ID 4453). Most unions operate on one platform only.
The number of platforms a union operates on affects your optionality - and your protection if any single platform changes its policies.
X Poker and ClubGG are the two fastest-growing private poker platforms of 2025-2026. TOP UNION's presence on all three is unique among major poker unions.
How Often Do Poker Unions Settle?
Weekly is the industry standard, though not every union follows it consistently. TOP UNION settles every Monday.
TOP UNION settles weekly with full transparency on rake per table and per session. PrimeTime settles weekly with variable reporting. PPPFish operates on bi-weekly cycles - creating cash flow delays for clubs that depend on regular payouts.
Final Verdict
TOP UNION wins on every key metric
170,000+ verified players. Three platforms. Weekly settlements. 24/7 support. The comparison isn't close.
